Biggest march I've ever experienced. Surprised if it was <200k. Orderly, patient, superfriendly, multicultural, all ages. Chris Minns badly misjudged this in his opposition #FreePalistine. Saw not 1 medical emergency, fall, fight.

Did you do the "People's Walk for Reconciliation" in May 2000? 250,000 walked across the bridge that day. But we *started* at Milson's Point & walked Sth; stupid having ppl walk N & then turn around. Town Hall station was so crowded the staff opened the barriers & let everybody thru. Brain surgery

But for brain surgery 4 days ago, I would have been there. I am so cranky to have missed it. But so proud of those who went out in terrible weather conditions to stand up for what is right. Our ppl are so much better than our politicians. 💝

I saw one woman trip and many rushed to help her up. I agree there was a wonderful feeling of camaraderie. So many well behaved children!

I’ve never seen trouble at any march I’ve attended in my rather long life. I’ve seen an over abundance of police though
